Question

Is there an alt code for peace sign? Please, help! This is a great site btw, I love it!

Answer

There's no usual alt code for the peace sign. Except in MS Office products (Word, Excell, etc) you should be able to input that with an Alt Code equal to Unicode value of the character which is 9774 for peace. And remember that all alt codes are listed at alt-codes.org. So if you don't see some symbol here, it just means that there's no alt code for it. Nevertheless, you can find peace sign and many, many other cool symbols at my Cool text Symbols for Facebook ツ reference.

Question

I tried to copy this codes to paste to my MSN name, but I can't paste them what can I do?

Answer

Dear reader, you don't have to copy-paste Alt codes. You should copy-paste Alt symbols.

It's a differently encoded character and isn't part of alt codes. So you can only type it in MS Word.

No, there's no shorter one. And you can't type this straight into your browser. Only in Word, etc. I recommend you to better just copy out hardcore stuff like this from my Cool text Symbols for Facebook ツ reference.
